Of Freedom

Of Freedom

I am freeing you, my love, from the dew of eyes
While I relinquish to future accolades my smiles
And hold you with my being reverberating feelings
Like the air that pampers wings
Soaring above my fall
There, on the carpet you prepared
Carefully for my soul
On the earth, with walls shadowing struggling beams
So that I live
In the endearment of your scenery
Among those who won’t perceive
The rainbows of a sun flowing for your sky
Nor the dreams that are evinced
In art, Indias or crowns.
You’re free
And I remain to wait
For you to see, without stumbling in symbologies,
Without needed wands or wars,
The trail to one word
We’re both afraid of,
The sense of its practice
We desire so,
The perdurance of its secret
No one knows.
Tread softly on the path
Where I laid flowers on the side
For you to rest your course, already long,
Smell my heart spreading love
And find what I have lost in you
To bring it back and to release me, too
With your own key
And with the truth of what we’ve built
So that we finally live
What we started, maybe in another universe
And found anew in this space
For another chance
Of a too wondrous pureness
Fading into deepness.
My love,
The word that unbinds and entwines –
You and I –
We’ve carried it together all along
Under the shroud of little things
Of greater meanings
Who play hide-and-seek
With our whys and wows
And begot a one-of-a-kind growth
From a palette of
Care, smiles, fish and sun
Beyond the sea, by your horizon
Arrows, sneakers, mousse and faith –
Of life, as diverse wholeness
Respect, togetherness, hope –
Of Happiness.
